Ok, I see what you mean now. :) That seems like an issue that is solved by
user-friendly menu design (i.e., designing the menu names and hierarchy
such that the user can intuitively find them), plugin documentation, and/or
convention.

But I'm with you...I agree a top-level Plugins menu that automatically
groups the menus of plugins (upon plugin request or a preference setting)
could help mitigate the menu-hunting problem.
